   Extractions: Ronald Fisher received a B.A. in astronomy from Cambridge in 1912. There he studied the theory of errors under Stratton using Airy's manual Theory of Errors . It was Fisher's interest in the theory of errors in astronomical observations that eventually led him to investigate statistical problems. Fisher gave up being a mathematics teacher in 1919 to work at the Rothamsted Agricultural Experiment Station where he worked as a biologist and made many contributions to both statistics and genetics. He had a long dispute with Pearson and he turned down a post under him, choosing to go to Rothamsted instead. There he studied the design of experiments by introducing the concept of randomisation and the analysis of variance, procedures now used throughout the world. Fisher is considered the founder of modern statistics because of his many important contributions to that field. In 1921, he introduced the concept of likelihood and the maximum likelihood estimator. He also developed methods suitable for small samples, like those of Gosset, discovered of the precise distributions of many sample statistics, invented of analysis of variance, and studied hypothesis testing. In 1922 he gave a new definition of statistics. Its purpose was the reduction of data and he identified 3 fundamental problems: specification of the kind of population that the data came from, parameter estimation, and distributional problems.

   Extractions: R A Fisher 's parents were Katie Heath, the daughter of a solicitor, and George Fisher, of Robinson and Fisher a firm of auctioneers in King Street, St James, London. Katie and George had seven children, four boys and three girls. After the birth of Geoffrey in 1876 and Evelyn in 1877, they named their third child, who was born the following year, Alan. He died at a very young age and Katie, being superstitious, decided that all their children from that time on would have a "y" in their name. Ronald Aylmer Fisher was the second of twins, but the older twin was still-born. In 1904 Ronald entered Harrow, but this was a difficult time for the fourteen year old boy, for his mother died in that year of acute peritonitis. Despite this, he excelled at Harrow winning the Neeld Medal in 1906 in a mathematical essay competition open to the whole school. Fisher was awarded a £80 scholarship from Caius and Gonville College, Cambridge, which was necessary to finance his studies since his father had lost his fortune. In October 1909 he matriculated at Cambridge. Although he studied mathematics and astronomy at Cambridge, he was also interested in biology. In his second year as an undergraduate he began consulting senior members of the university about the possibility of forming a Cambridge University Eugenics Society. He graduated with distinction in the mathematical tripos of 1912. His tutor, however, believed he could have done better, writing [3]:-

His article "On a distribution yielding the error functions of several well known statistics" presented Karl Pearson's chi-squaredd and Student's t in the same framework as the normal distribution and his own analysis of variance distribution z. Fisher's book Statistical methods for research workers showed how to use these distributions. His work on the theory of population genetics also made him one of the three great figures of that field, together with Sewall Wright and J. B. S. Haldane , and as such one of the founders of the neodarwinian modern synthesis Table of contents 1 Brief biography

   Extractions: History has shaped our past; history will shape our future. Newton once said that he owned his success to his standing on the shoulders of scientific giants. History of statistics provides a ladder by which young statisticians climb to the shoulders of great statisticians. In the uneasy flow of human wisdom, statisticians have developped stochastic models of the ideal probability space, have built different inference bridges for crossing the gap between the data space and the probability space. To trace the development of these different models and of these inference methodologies is to inquire into the fasicnating intellectual tradition of statisticians and to test the null that staticians, together with scientists and engineers from other fields, have built the edifice of our scientific and social worlds.

    Extractions: Sir Ronald Aylmer Fisher Sir Ronald Aylmer Fisher was born February 17, 1890 in East Finchley, London to a fine arts auctioneer named George Fisher and Katie (Heath). None of his ancestors showed any strong mathematical inclinations, with the small exception of his uncle who graduated as a Wrangler from Cambridge. As a child, Fisher’s eyesight was already poor and this inhibited his private reading. In 1904, when he was 14 years old, his mother died, and that same year he received a scholarship in mathematics to Harrow. Because of his eyesight, he received tutoring in math under G. H. P. Mayo. In 1909 he won a scholarship in mathematics to Cambridge University and graduated in 1912 with a B. A. in Astronomy. He was awarded a studentship for one year and studied theory of errors under F. J. M. Stratton and also more astronomy and quantum physics under J. Jeans. In April of 1912, Fisher published his first paper introducing what would later become known as the method of maximum likelihood. The remainder of that summer, Fisher took up correspondence with W. S. Gosset ("Student") in relation to a part of his equation for standard deviation. During this correspondence, he ended up making the distinction between sample and population means. In the theoretical or pure statistics, large samples, sometimes even infinite (using ideal situations), were taken from the population. Almost the entire population itself was taken as the ideal sample, making little error, but making applying those techniques impractical. R. A. Fisher was interested in the practical applications of statistics, dealing with small quantities in a sample, not infinitely large ones.
